Instead of proceeding through the left turn with little fanfare, the driver of the ostentatiously yellow Lambo accelerated so quickly that he lost control and skidded through the turn.

On southbound Wheeling Road, he lost control, veered across the double-yellow line and plowed the $225,000 sports car between two vehicles that had been waiting at a light. Police cited William Whitaker, 39, for failing to reduce speed and avoid an accident, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Chicago's CBS 2 attempted to interview Whitaker about the crash, which occurred on Sunday. But after a reporter asked him what happened, Whitaker reportedly told the station he expected a better question and hung up.

That led the station to report that no one was hurt in the incident, "except perhaps Whitaker's ego."

Whitaker was a bit more cooperative with police. In a police report of the incident, he told officers that he "just lost it" as he accelerated.

The people in the car shooting the video are just as STUPID as the Lamborghini driver. They left the scene of an accident and put the video online? Video shooters can go to jail and the Lamborghini driver pays higher Insurance premiums. The passenger in the video car mentions stopping, however, the pansy driver in the video car wanted to leave the scene of the accident. Idiots all.

The guy shooting the video and his "pansy driver" weren't involved in the accident they merely made a video of it. Are you saying that everyone who saw the accident was supposed to hang around? That would be dozens of vehicles parked on the side of the road and endless police reports. What would that accomplish?.

Um, no, Practical 'Nad, you don't have to stay at the scene of an accident--unless you're involved in the accident, Einstein...duhhhhh. Come on--pull your head out, please, or you'll also be involved in a crash next time you attempt to drive. And yes, the Lamborghini driver will pay higher insurance premiums and should pay higher premiums. I'm guessing you won't be able to figure out this trick question, 'Nad, but if the Lamborghini driver didn't pay a higher premium, who do you think would end up paying for idiots like him causing needless damage just as he did: the insurance company executives or the rest of us insurance subscribers?

Oh come on. There where plenty of people around, including two other cars involved in an accident that wasn't bad. Just how many people do you think that accident needed standing around getting in the way? I really doubt they could have done anything at all other than create yet more confusion. The only boneheaded thing they did was turn around and take a second look.

Ubokia Is Similar To Craigslist...After hearing about Ubokia I just had to rush over to the site ( http://bit.ly/TryUbokia ) and see what all of the buzz was about. I was amicably surprised with the ease of use of the site once I signed up for an account and was able to gain access into their site. The sign up process was very easy and took only about 1 minute. The web site is very straight forward to navigate also. You can find offers of all sorts of products and services with a simple entry of a word or product in the search box. Results came quickly and was surprised to find many really cool items listed cheap! You can also place a want ad. This was very easy to do also. I wanted to find a new cell phone that was compatible with my carrier and got many responses the very first day. I now have a new cell phone and only paid $10 for it and it works perfectly. It was a pleasure to set a want ad and simply forget about it. Sellers contacted me! I know you will like using Ubokia ( http://bit.ly/TryUbokia ) as much as I do. Give it a try and find out for yourself how easy it is. BTW It's fun too. I smiled the whole time!
